They did the big spectacle of trump arraignment, and quietly released the details of her having to him damages. Timing of the release of information so one headline doesn't overshadow the other and show how its even more of a beat up political campaign

Sorry, I may have missed the spectacle. All I was aware of was that he flew down, they went through all the standard legal stuff, then he flew back to Mar-a-Lago where he held a press meet/rally.
Was there some special spectacle thing that happened? What was it?
The article made reference to a defemation case she lost against him where she had to pay legal costs, not damages - as anyone would need to pay if they lose a defemation case.
I had a quick look, and it seems to be widely publicised, too, despite it only being settled with the last 24 hours.
